Chapter 327: The County Lord Arrives
(Recommended reading: "My lord, the Shuntianfu Yamen has sent someone to ask your lord for verification." In early April, when Li Hongyu was handling the official business at hand in the Hanlin Academy, a clerk came in to report on it.
Li Hongyu couldn't help but feel a little surprised, nodded to the official, and the official withdrew to invite the people of Shuntianfu.
"Brother Li, why did the people from Shuntianfu come to you?" Zhao Xin was working on another desk, and said to Li Hongyu with a smile when she heard the words, "Did you cause some romantic debts outside?" ”
"Brother Zhao, I also want to hand over the peach blossom luck or something, but now I run around here, the Forbidden City and the academy every day, where can I have time to be merry and happy." Li Hongyu lazily stretched his waist when he heard this, where does he have a romantic mind now, he is almost tired to death.
Zhao Xin laughed, she naturally knew that Li Hongyu couldn't provoke any romantic debts, it was just a joke just now, and she was curious about Shuntianfu looking for Li Hongyu to verify the matter, and she didn't know which case Li Hongyu was caught in.
"I've seen Li compilation, the little one is the messenger of the Shuntian Mansion Capture Class, and I take the liberty to visit and hope that the adults will forgive their sins." After a short time, the official walked in with a young messenger in official uniform, and the young messenger bowed a little crampedly after coming to Li Hongyu.
"What's the matter with you?" Seeing that the gambling house seemed a little nervous, Li Hongyu asked quietly, he didn't seem to have done anything worthy of being verified by Shuntianfu.
"My lord, there was a bloody case in the Qinglou outside the city last night, a prostitute was stabbed with a knife by the girl in the Qinglou, and was imprisoned in the prison of Wanping County, the little one was on an errand in Wanping County, and I accidentally learned that the girl who hurt the person said that it was the adult's fiancée, so the little one came to ask the adult for verification."
Hearing this, the young poor man hurriedly bowed down and said to Li Hongyu, secretly observing the change in Li Hongyu's expression as he spoke, and fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead due to nervousness.
In front of Li Hongyu, this young poor man is not worth mentioning at all, and if his words and deeds offend Li Hongyu, he will be beaten violently.
"Fiancée?" Li Hongyu's brows suddenly wrinkled, his fiancée on his face was Qin Yue, and the real fiancée was Zhao Xin, how could he have another fiancée.
Zhao Xin couldn't help but shake her head when she heard this, she didn't expect that the woman in the Qinglou would actually play Li Hongyu's signboard, wasn't she afraid of being convicted for this?
"The official's fiancée stayed at home and had no connection with the Qinglou." Li Hongyu groaned for a while, and said coldly, anyone who encounters this kind of thing will definitely not be happy.
"The little one urged the people of Wanping County to find out the origin of the woman and give an explanation to the adults." Seeing Li Hongyu's unhappy expression, the young man realized that he had come by mistake this time, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said in a loud voice.
"You don't need to explain to the official, just find out the facts of the case." Li Hongyu waved his hand and said quietly, no matter what hardships the woman has, she should not pretend to be his fiancée, you must know that this is a violation.
"The little ones will do it." The young poor man nodded to Li Hongyu again and again, bowed and retreated, feeling very annoyed in his heart, how could he believe that woman's lies, this time it was good that he could not only slap Li Hongyu but also anger Li Hongyu, which can be said to be worth the loss.
"Wait a minute."
When the young messenger retreated to the door and was about to flee in embarrassment, Li Hongyu's brows furrowed and then called out to him, and asked in a deep voice, "Why do you believe that she is the fiancée of this official?" ”
Although Li Hongyu felt a little depressed, he was regarded as a fiancé by a woman in a Qinglou for no reason, but after thinking about it, he felt that this young poor man looked very clever and would not be stupid and run around to find it uncomfortable, so he wanted to know what the other party said to make him believe this lie.
"Back to my lord, she said that she met the adult when the adult went to the grassland to meet the Mongolian Great Khan last year, and she was engaged to the adult, and she wanted to come to the capital to find the adult, but after entering the city, she was deceived and sold to the Qinglou, because she refused to pick up the customer and injured the prostitute."
When the young poor man heard this, he suddenly secretly complained in his heart, and hurriedly turned around and said to Li Hongyu with a smile on his face, "The little one saw that she was young and quite pitiful, so he sympathized with her, and he didn't want to be deceived by it, don't worry, now that she is lying, she will definitely be punished as she deserves!" ”
"The woman is Mongolian?" Li Hongyu was slightly stunned when he heard this, and vaguely had an ominous premonition, and asked in a deep voice.
"Lord Hui, it's a Mongolian woman." The young poor man didn't notice the change in Li Hongyu's tone, and said with a look of annoyance, "It's because of this little one that I believe her, I didn't expect Mongolian women to be so cunning." ”
"What's her name?" Li Hongyu stared at the young poor man and asked, although he didn't want to believe it, it was likely that what he was worried about would come true.
"Na...... Na ...... "The young poor man didn't expect Li Hongyu to be interested in the name of the Mongolian woman, and he couldn't remember the other party's name for a while, after all, the Mongolian name is relatively long compared to Daming, and it is not easy to remember."
"Naren Toya!" A wry smile flashed at the corner of Li Hongyu's mouth, and he said coldly with a frown.
"Yes, it's Naren Toya." The young poor man nodded again and again when he heard this, and looked at Li Hongyu in surprise, "Adults know this name?" ”
"Naren Toya has come to the capital, I'll take a look." Li Hongyu's eyes suddenly showed a depressed look, and he stood up and said to Zhao Xin.
With Naren Toya's simple personality, it is really easy to be deceived and make hurtful things, Mongolian women's temperament is much wilder than that of Ming women, Naren Toya's status as a princess of the Nakharkha Department is noble, and she didn't kill the prostitute who tried to take advantage of her, and the other party should have burned incense and worshiped the Buddha.
"I'll go with you." Zhao Xin stood up without thinking, wanting to see the demeanor of this Mongolian princess who was looking for a husband for thousands of miles, and at the same time to help Li Hongyu put pressure on the Yamen of Wanping County.
Seeing this, the young poor man was stunned for a moment, and then showed a happy look on his face, it seems that he made the right bet this time, and the Mongolian woman named Naren Toya really has something to do with Li Hongyu.
"Efu, no, the princess left a letter at home, and came here to find the efu, and the little one chased all the way and found no trace of the princess.
”
When Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin walked out of the gate of the Hanlin Academy, Wang Tieniu arrived with a burly Mongolian man, who bowed to Li Hongyu and reported anxiously.
He was ordered to lead people to find Naren Tuoya, and chased him from the grassland to the capital, thinking that Naren Tuoya was already in Li's house, but he went just now to know that Naren Tuoya did not come.
Qin Yue realized the seriousness of the situation, and hurriedly asked Wang Tieniu to take the Mongolian Han into the imperial city to find Li Hongyu, in case there was anything wrong with Naren Toya, then the result would be bad.
"The princess has been found, you don't have to worry." Li Hongyu nodded to the Mongolian man, and then said to Wang Tieniu in a deep voice, "You send someone to the camp outside the city, and let Kuba bring people to Wanping County Ya!" ”
After speaking, Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin got into the carriage parked in front of the door and drove towards the county government of Wanping County.
The young messenger who had come to report was not qualified to ride in the carriage, so he had to run behind the carriage, and he was used to running anyway, and had developed a good foot strength.
Wang Tieniu realized from Li Hongyu's eager look that something was wrong, and hurriedly went to the New Army Training Camp outside the city to find Kuba, who was now Li Hongyu's confidant and won Li Hongyu's trust in holding a mid-level military position in the New Army.
Wanping County County, prison.
The two guards standing in front of the prison leaned against the wall and talked with great interest about the new kiln sisters in the Bada Hutong, and people of their status could naturally only go to low-grade brothels for recreation, which was contemptuously called "kilns", and the prostitutes in it were kiln sisters.
After a while, a middle-aged couple dressed in ordinary clothes approached with a basket of food, and the man handed one of the doormen a piece of broken silver and put it inside.
"Drink at night." The doorman who had taken the money shook the broken silver in his hand and smiled at the other doorman.
The jailers in the prison belong to the service, and there is no salary to receive, so they can only do the work of extorting prisoners, and the gate fee is the most important and fastest way to make money, and those who want to visit the prison must first pass the gatekeeper level, and if they don't do it well, they can't even enter the door.
This is also the reason why the servants in the ancient yamen were regarded as lowly and were not allowed to take the imperial examination within three generations.
The officials who are the county officials refer to the officials and officials of the six rooms of the county government, all of whom are literate and hyphenated, and they are very different from the servants.
As soon as the doorman who collected the money finished speaking, a carriage came speeding up and stopped in front of the gate with a bang.
The two doormen looked at each other and cheered up, judging from the specifications of the carriage, there were rich people sitting inside, which meant that there was a big deal, and the two of them could take the opportunity to make a fortune.
However, when the two young men in the carriage came down, the two doormen were stunned, both of them were wearing official uniforms, one was with the seventh grade, and the other was higher than the official rank of the sixth grade of the magistrate of Wanping County, and it turned out to be from the fifth grade.
"I've seen two adults, but I don't know what happened to them?"
Not to mention that from the fifth grade, the official of the seventh grade alone is enough to crush these two doormen, so the two of them looked at each other in amazement and hurriedly greeted them, bowed and saluted, feeling panicked in their hearts.
The two of them have been mixed in the capital for many years, so they naturally know that the most difficult person to provoke in Beijing officials is Yanguan, and the two officials who appeared in front of them this time are not only above the seventh grade but also extremely young, so there are ten ** are Yanguan, but it is not clear whether it is the Metropolitan Procuratorate or the people of the Sixth Branch, these two hornet's nests are not even willing to provoke Shuntianfu Mansion Yin, let alone them.
"Lead the way, go to the prison!" The person wearing the official uniform from the fifth rank was naturally Li Hongyu, and he shouted to the doorman who had received the broken silver before with an expressionless face.
When he was in Liaodong, he was ordered by the Wanli Emperor and Honglu Temple from the right Shaoqing of the five grades, and the official rank jumped two levels from the sixth rank to the fifth grade, which is rare in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, after all, Li Hongyu's starting point into the officialdom is already the highest among the two lists, and from the five grades is the height that many people in the officialdom cannot reach in their lives.
But then again, Li Hongyu turned the tide on the battlefield in Liaodong, reversed the disadvantage in the battle with the Houjin army, and forced Nurhachi to move the capital, plus the foundation is the new champion of the Ming Dynasty, so there is no opposition to his promotion in the officialdom, which is considered a matter of course.
